    Frampton openly admitted that he didn't want any part of Rigondeaux, now we're to believe that Rigo is the one taking easier options?

    I've always suspected you had a little sugar in your tank.

    Rigo is a sad case of too good for his own good. The Donaire fight was beautiful. His mistake was he should've fought Loma when he had the chance regardless of the disadvantages that were in place. This just allowed more sand to be placed on his shallow grave.

    Maybe, we could get a Giovanni Segura vs Ivan Calderon type fight out of it then. Calderon was putting on a clinic, hitting Segura three for one, but it didn't matter. Segura was too young and strong.

    Calderon couldn't crack an egg. Rig's breaks bones with one shot. Donaire's orbital bone, broken, and given pumpkin face. It was fairly grotesque backstage after the fight. Amagasa, grotesquely disfigured, pumpkin face. Dickens jaw broke in two places, corner throws in the towel before the face could be pumpkined.

    Yep, Arum bashed Rigondeaux so badly after the Donaire fight that Arum gave him another headlining show against a bum that was tailor made for him to look good (nobody knew that Agbeko would refuse to throw punches, it was hardly Arum's fault again). You log off fool.

    I don't care about Agbeko. It was Rigondeaux's show, so it was his job to please the boxing fans. Rigo with his skill and power definitely could have taken out Agbeko (he is breaking guys' jaws FFS!), but he refused to move out of his comfort zone, and he stunk out the joint. End of story.

    Don't think Arum ever forgave him for beating Donaire.
    Think his career has failed for a number of reasons, some self inflicted, some not.
    It cant be co-incidence that a lot of these great Cuban amateurs have really badly run pro careers.
    They often seem to throw their lot in with some tin pot Cuban promoter or manager.
